Jimi Hendrix's idol. He said Otis was the best ever did it with a guitar. He sure the fk wasn't lying. Otis was also left handed. A pure, real genuine guitar genius.
Someone, PLEASE.. bring the blues back into the main stream instead of the so-called music today. Otis was a big influence on SRV as were many others, but was sadly taken too soon. He respected all before him and honored them humbly. Artists, record labels.. The blues are dying.. Are you listening??
